Answer:

Slope = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Given the equation y = -7/2 x - 5/8

Compare with the general equation

mx = -7/2x

Divide both sides by x

mx/x = -7x/2x

m = -7/2

Hence the slope of the line is -7/2

horsena [70]

Answer:

58 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So I attached a diagram that illustrates the triangle that is formed. We know an angle, as well as the hypotenuse. We are looking for the height, or in other words the opposite side of the angle. There is a trigonometric function defined as: $sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ . Using this we can plug in known values and solve for the opposite side, which I'll simply represent as x.

$sin(46) = \frac{x}{80}$

Multiply both sides by 80

$sin(46) * 80 = x$

Calculate sin(46) using a calculator (make sure it's in degree mode)

$0.7193398 * 80 = x$

Simplify

$57.547 \approx x$

Round this to the nearest foot

$58 \approx x$

You were testing orange juice recipes it’s recipe calls for orange juice concentrate and water mix one has 4 cups of concentrate

Sav [38]

Answer:

First mixed is the most orangey.

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Second:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=1\ cups\\\\Water=3\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=1+3=4\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$

First mixed has highest percentage of orange juice. Hence first mixed is the most orangey.

Reading proficiency: An educator wants to construct a 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school children

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

A sample size of 345 is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error of the interval is given by:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.69$

99.5% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.005$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975$ , so $Z = 2.81$ .

Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07?

This is n when M = 0.07. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.07 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.69*0.31}{n}}$

$0.07\sqrt{n} = 1.2996$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.2996}{0.07}$

$\sqrt{n} = 18.5658$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (18.5658)^{2}$

$n = 345$

A sample size of 345 is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

12. The first attachment has the rate of change on each interval. (It is listed at the end of the interval.) It is computed by dividing the difference in length by the corresponding difference in months. The units of rate of change are inches per month.

The baby was growing fastest in the first 3 months.

13. The first attachment has the rate of change on each interval. It is computed by dividing the difference in height by the corresponding difference in seconds. The units of rate of change are meters per second. A negative number indicates the elevator is going down.

The second attachment shows a graph of the distance versus time.

I find it convenient to let a spreadsheet do repetitive calculations. I can enter the formula once and copy it where needed. I don't have to worry about the accuracy of the arithmetic, and the result can be formatted to suit the problem requirements. (The basics of most spreadsheet programs can be learned in a few minutes.)
